REVOLUTION YOGA - Ashtanga to grow you and change the world.

Background:

Tracey “Tao” Oliveto has been teaching yoga since 1995 and owned Yoga Bliss Studio in Raleigh, NC from 2000 to 2006. Tracey now resides in Carrboro, NC and offers Ashtanga classes and private lessons taught from a holistic perspective. With a focus on Ashtanga practices and teaching technique influenced by Iyengar teaching methods, classes incorporate details of alignment, Pranayama (breath work), and Bandhas (energy locks).

Tracey has a BA in English and Psychology. After acquiring two levels of certification from the American College of Sports Medicine, she spent 10 years working in the fields of nutrition, health and fitness. Taking on the study and training of Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga disciplines in 1993 provided the opportunity to address and teach more holistically. She has since regularly attended yoga teacher trainings and workshops, studying many yoga traditions, while maintaining a focus on Ashtanga’s methods and The Eight Limbs.

Tracey continued graduate level counseling psychology courses in 2001 and then completed a 500-hour certification in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy in 2002. For more information on private yoga therapy sessions, see below.

More Thoughts from Tao:

Be sincere, not serious

Half of what happens in yoga you do. The rest just happens.

The edge is not the point where you quit.
